Access authentication in AI systems

Abstract

Access authentication in an artificial intelligence system includes perceiving electronically with a first user's artificial intelligence voice response system (AIVRS) a physical presence of a second user. A voice request is generated by the first user's AIVRS and conveyed to a second user requesting access to a knowledge corpus stored by an AIVRS of the second user. Based on a voice response of the second user, the first user's AIVRS instantiates an electronic communications session with the second user's AIVRS. The session is initiated via an electronic communications connection with a portable device of the second user. Selected portions of the knowledge corpus are retrieved by the first user's AIVRS from the second user's AIVRS, the portions selected based on the voice response. An action by one or more IoT devices is initiated in response to a voice prompt interpreted by the first user's AIVRS based on the selected portions.

What is claimed is:

       6. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising acquiring second user information by the first user's AI voice response system based on data captured by the first user's AI voice response system from a first user's device communicatively coupled to the first user's AI voice response system. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first user's AI voice response system discards the retrieved selected portions of the knowledge corpus after a predetermined time interval lapses without receiving a retention prompt from the second user. 
     
     
       8. A system, comprising:
 a first user's artificial intelligence (AI) voice response system operatively coupled with a processor configured to initiate operations including:
 electronically perceiving a second user's physical presence; 
 conveying a voice request to access a knowledge corpus electronically stored by an AI voice response system of the second user and receiving a voice response from the second user;

 retrieving via a data communications network selected portions of the knowledge corpus from the second user's AI voice response system, the selected portions of the knowledge corpus selected based on the voice response of the second user to the request; and 
 initiating an action by one or more IoT devices in response to a voice prompt interpreted by the first user's AI voice response system based on the selected portions of the knowledge corpus.
